Report: Cowboys cut Gurode

Agent Kennard McGuire confirmed the move in an email to The Associated Press on Monday.

Gurode was held out of Saturday night’s game with the Vikings for what the club termed “business reasons.” The team was reportedly seeking either a trade or a re-worked contract that included a reduction to the $5.5 million he was scheduled to make this season.

The 32-year-old missed most of training camp after undergoing knee surgery in June. While he was out, second-year player Phil Costa impressed Garrett and owner Jerry Jones with his strong play at camp and in the first two preseason games.
